“I can understand why they have declared, I have no problem with it. They didn't think they could get another batting point, the game was virtually over, and they weren't going to risk losing another one to us.”

“There was going to be no result at the end so it was the right time to shake hands and move on.

“We weren’t supposed to be preventing Lancashire getting a bowling point, all points are gold dust. We said we would go for 200 regardless which I think is the right thing to do in the spirit of the game. They had a great opportunity to get the extra point, we had to earn the extra point. 200 on the board is as far as we were going to go really so it was the right time to pull out.”
